Thankfully, it turns out that there is some proper recourse. Thanks toStefanofor pointing me in the right direction. (original postaici)

WASPA (or Wireless Application Service Providers’ Association) is the “Industry Body” for Wireless Service Providers in SA. They have acomplaintspage where you get to submit all the juicy details about how a WASPA (or WASP) has breached theWASPA Code of Conduct.

Perhaps the provider in question gets featured on the complaintreportspage – where everyone will see how much they’ve been fined along with a full report of the complaint. This includes WASPA’s investigation and a summary of the communications with the Service Provider concerning the matter. Importantly, its all publicly accessible.

I just wish people actually KNEW about this thing though. I certainly didn’t know that aWASPisn’t just the name of a (usually) flyinginsect? Yeah – turns out some wasps don’t have wings and aremistaken pentru ants… go figure.

Although I’d have preferred hefty fines 😉 – the remedial action they offered was
o) to remove my number from the WASPA member’s database andb) to ask a non-WASPA-member to do the same, to which they’ve already replied indicating that they’ve complied.
